Scream dreams: Teens can make a Halloween movie at Dallas Movie Institute workshop

Teens can have fun grossing out themselves and their friends in the fifth annual Movie Institute Halloween Workshop for Teens Oct. 4 to 6. They'll make a thriller with an indoor shopping mall as their set, which they can share with friends and family. Plus, the special effects they'll learn should make them the creepy hit of any Halloween party.

It's all happening October 4-6 for ages 13-19 at the Movie Institute, on the first level of Valley View Center, formerly Valley View Mall, at 635/LBJ between Montfort and Preston in Dallas.

Teens can film during a daily session Friday through Sunday for $150 or, for a creepier option, try the lock-in for $275 and runs from Saturday at 10:30 a.m. to Sunday at 6 p.m. All sessions include a meal (more meals for overnight stay), all materials and screening.

When not eliciting screams, Movie Institute, established by Keith Randal Duncan and Martha Duncan in 2000, trains and mentors kids in film, video, animation and video game arts. You can get more details by emailing keith@movieinstitute.org.
